The defendant now moved for nn order dis- missing tho suit, and dissolving tho Injunc- tion, on the grounds, mainly, that the plain- tiff had not conformed to the agreement with regard to stock.

He declared that Burnet was entitled to have the suit dismissed and the Injunction dissolved. Mr. S. A. Thompson, instructed by Mr. S. B. Bonfield, appeared for Burnet; and Dr. Waddell, instructed by Mr. J, B. Frawley, for Ferguson.

" This undertaking, his Honor added, in roply to Mr. Knox, wns not to bo taken aa any admission, that thero was any likelihood of confusion if the quoted words wore not annexed to tho advertisements.
